I've been driving for Uber for the past few months while actively searching for a new job, and I'm facing a dilemma about how to present this gig work on my resume. I want to avoid giving the impression that I've given up on my career, but I'm unsure how hiring managers will perceive this experience. Some people suggest that listing gig work can demonstrate initiative, while others warn that it might raise red flags, signaling that I've disengaged from the workforce. I'm trying to figure out the best approach to address this gap in my employment history. Technically, there isn't a gap since I've been working, but it's not the same as having a traditional salaried position. I'm considering whether I should mention this gig work in my cover letter, wait for interviewers to bring it up, or just list it plainly on my resume without overthinking it. The job market feels quite strange right now, and I'm worried that I might be overanalyzing how this gig work will be viewed. I'm really curious about what has worked for others in similar situations.
